A 2 bed mid-terrace ex-local authority house requiring cosmetic improvement with large garden and outbuildings enjoying countryside views on the edge of this rural village
SITUATION: The property is a mid-terrace house within a small linear development elevated up from the Drimpton Road within easy walking distance of the local primary school, community-run pub, convenience store, village hall, church and craft centre with restaurant. The village has an active community and has bus services to Beaminster some 2 miles to the east with its wider range of services and organisations and secondary school. The larger and vibrant market town of Bridport lies some 4 miles to the south and the Jurassic Coastline at West Bay some 6 miles away, whilst the nearest British Rail main line connection is at Crewkerne some 5 miles to the north.
THE PROPERTY probably dates from the 1940's and offers a former council-owned house in a small terrace of similar homes of traditional construction and has a s.157 occupancy restriction. This house has been occupied by the same family for many years and enjoys some character features including picture rails and a small cast iron fireplace to the main bedroom. It has been well maintained over the years with a 1970's-style stone chimney breast and fireplace surround, a modern front porch with ramp approach, extension and new roof over the original wash-house providing workshop/utility space, fairly modern kitchen and shower room and a new oil-fired boiler and tank some 6 years ago providing central heating to radiators throughout together with uPVC double-glazed windows and doors.
The property is now in need of a modern electric consumer unit and general re-decoration and there is some scope for the outbuilding area to the rear together with the extensive rear garden which has a greenhouse and old Woolaway animal shelter - ideal for those requiring a working/play area offering potential for horticultural/small animal husbandry and/or large family play area.
DIRECTIONS: From Bridport, take the B3162 to Salwayash and on to Broadwindsor. Reaching the junction at Broadwindsor follow the one way system into the village centre and straight out on the Drimpton Road past the shop and school and the property will be found on the left-hand side with parking on the opposite side of the road and a pedestrian path to Little Court.
THE ACCOMMODATION presently offers:
ENCLOSED FRONT PORCH of UPVC and obscure-glazed construction which provides a useful south-facing boot room/sun room. Front entrance door into:
SITTING/DINING ROOM which has 3 opening windows to the south attracting good natural light and affording views to a rising hillside and countryside. The focal point of this room is the stone fireplace surround and chimney breast incorporating a solid wood shelving and mantel for display, presently fitted with an electric fire (formerly had a Parkray fitted). Understairs' storage cupboard and stairs rising to the first floor.
KITCHEN comprehensively fitted with fairly modern solid wood wall-mounted and base cupboards and drawers with worksurfaces, incorporating a 4-ring Creda hob with cooker hood over and a fairly new Zanussi electric oven, sink unit and plumbing provided for washing machine and space for fridge. Window over sink to the rear garden. Door leading to built-in pantry/storage cupboard with door off to:
CLOAKROOM with low level WC.
A further door from the kitchen leads to the single-storey extension which is of single skin construction under a recently replaced tiled roof and which offers a passageway with outside doors to both the left and right and provides BOILER ROOM/STORE with modern Firebird boiler and a WORKSHOP/UTILITY both with small windows giving natural light and with electric lights and points provided.
FIRST FLOOR
LANDING with access trap to roof storage.
MAIN BEDROOM with triple windows to the southerly aspect and delightful rural countryside views, small wrought-iron art-deco fireplace feature. Deep double-railed wardrobe cupboard built in.
BEDROOM 2: Another double bedroom facing north and overlooking the large rear sloping garden. Built-in wardrobe with small radiator fitted.
SHOWER ROOM with fairly modern suite comprising a large shower cubicle with screen and diamonte Mermaid boarding surround, a modern basin with vanity unit under and mirror over and a modern toilet. Obscure glazed window to the rear.
OUTSIDE
Steps lead up from the small rear yard with handrail to the useful GREENHOUSE and OIL TANK behind the old washhouse. Extending from here is a 100 ft lawned garden/pasture with a Woolaway animal shelter to the rear boundary. This would provide a blank canvas for an avid gardener or for small animal husbandry or for a large garden play area for children.
To the front is a gently sloping southerly facing garden comprising lawn with established bushes and a paved patio section.
Across the road is an off-road parking area for the use of the residents of Little Court.
AGENT'S NOTE: The property has a s.157 occupancy restriction with Magna Housing Association which limits buyers to those who have lived or worked in West Dorset for the last 3 years or be coming to the area for employment. An application to Magna for a prime residence to help out family or for volunteering in the community may be considered.
The property cannot be used as a holiday home or for holiday lets. Please contact the agents for further advice.
SERVICES: Mains water, electricity and drainage. Oil central heating and uPVC double glazing. Council Tax Band 'B'.
